The statue of Wenceslaus in the long square where the big rallies were held, and the square where the inauguration took place. Plus me, singing to the Commendatore.
Very briefly...Miro took us on a walking tour of Prague today - took the tram up to the Prague Castle and wandered the streets and cafes to the top of Wenceslaus Square - cold but informative, beautiful buildings, and a couple of refreshing stops for food and drink.
For me, highlights included the statue at the top of the square where the big rallies of the Velvet Revolution made change inevitable, and the big square where the newly elected Vaclav Havel was inaugurated, the victory partty to top all victory parties!
And of course the opera house where Mozart debuted his new work, Don Giovanni!
The pictures may speak for themselves - more later, including a Top Ten Cakes spot that Miro knew!
Extra Organizer Points to him for being a cheerful, informative guide and a great companion! (and we actually got to talk lots of work stuff in between castles and churches. He's an impressive young man. He really liked training in Sklarska - I predict he'll be good at it!
Tomorrow, we meet up in Bratislava.
Dave, Linds,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trip. ONE request while you are in Budapest. I am sorely in need of Halaszle kocka---- Fishermen soup bullion cubes.
The more the better. Available at most grocary stores. Thanks!!!
